This morning, former New Hampshire HHS Commissioner and Republican nominee for Governor, John Stephen, has endorsed Frank Guinta in his race against Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter.

This marks the 26th consecutive week of endorsements dating back to March. John Stephen had this to say in his endorsement:

“From his successful private sector career, to his time effectively leading the state’s largest city, to serving the Granite State as a Representative, Frank Guinta has consistently proven himself to be a conservative, pragmatic leader willing to tackle the tough issues. His emphasis on jobs and the economy, rolling back suffocating regulations while working to balance our nation’s budget is exactly the kind of leadership we need today.”

Frank Guinta released the following statement:

“John Stephen has a distinguished career as a servant to our state and nation; I am honored to receive his endorsement today. As we head into the fall, Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter remains inaccessible, ineffective and indifferent to the needs of Granite Staters. She refuses to hold a town hall while she jets out to raise money with Nancy Pelosi in California. I will continue to focus on providing solutions to our nation’s most pressing issues.”
